Looks like there are lots if reasons:   The climate control settings require the engine to be running to cool or heat the vehicle interior. The vehicle battery charge is low.

I disconnected my battery (positive terminal) last night for roughly a minute or so, then reconnected.  Today, start/stop did not work.  The manual states it will not function if the battery was disco

Check for a loose engine ground cable. https://gm-techlink.com/?p=12383 Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Mine has not been working for the past couple of weeks. I just disconnected the negative battery cable waited 30 seconds and reconnected and now it is working fine

I keep meaning to post my findings over the past week. Prior to shutdown, I unplug my radar detector. I don’t plug radar detector back into the outlet until engine has been started. This has been working flawlessly for just over 1 week.

 

since I am not perfect, I do forget to follow these steps from time to time, and the auto shut off fails when the above steps are not followed. Leads me to the assumption that there is something goin on with the wiring or perhaps the infotainment system, and or the open circuit code some others are getting.

I have a 2020 1500 LT( 8 speed trans) with only about 1500 miles on it...mostly city driving so far (25~40 mph).  The auto stop worked fine at first, even in semi cold weather...worked enough to make it noticeable but I decided to leave it on to see if I could get used to it.  Around 800 miles it stopped working, like others have said, can't say I miss it terribly but wondering what is wrong.  Probably crazy but about the same time I noticed the auto climate control system acting wacky.  I have it set at 70 degrees...when I start the truck it will blow full cold until the truck gets warmed up and then the air obviously warms up...in my 2015 Sierra  it would not blow air until the engine was warm enough....and lastly, seems a little rough (transmission) when rolling through traffic at 28-35 mph, like it can't find the gear it wants.  Anybody seeing all these symptoms in a newer 1500?

I took my truck in for the 3 recalls a couple of weeks back.  The Service writer said that the ABS fix might correct the Auto Stop not working.  I got the truck back and after a good run to get everything up to operating temperature, but alas it still does NOT auto stop.  I will take it in after the Shelter In Place is lifted and have that fixed.  I am certain all they will do is reflash the ECM and it will work for a little while afterward anyhow.

I did notice that my climate control blows full force sometimes, it is a little annoying.  I have noticed that my infotainment won't mute and I get an intermittent message on the screen telling me that my rear camera needs servicing.  I am convinced that if this truck was built in the US instead of Mexico I wouldn't have all these problems.

Update on my 2019 1500 GMC for anyone who cares. Auto stop still not functioning correctly. 23,000 miles so for and truck still running great. Noticed cruising down the highway around 65 miles an hour the engine light started flashing slowly. Light stopped after 5 miles and the truck never missed a beat. Called dealer and they said bring it in right away as the flashing light can be serious. Anyways long story short the dealer has ordered a new ECM and stated that that may be the problem all along. IDK but I am definitely purchasing an extended warranty!!! ECM is on order and will not be in for a week or so. Dealer let me take my truck and asked me to keep an eye on the engine light. Auto stop is now working again for the time being.  Love the truck and ride but getting aggravated as to what is continually going on with the Auto Stop feature.

Let us know if that fixes the auto stop issue.

2020 AT4, 1,500 miles.  It worked consistently early on (I usually turned it off at the end of my driveway), has not been working the last couple of weeks.  Just noticed it wasn't working lately.

So my auto stop stopped working a couple weeks after I got the truck. About a week ago my kids were playing around in the back and knocked out the cigarette charger for my camera. Lo and behold it’s working again. So it seems if you have any aux power plugged in it won’t shut off.

I believe that's what it is. The first time it happened I disconnected the battery and it started working again. This last time, I just unplugged my dash cam over night

Unplugging my camera did work a couple of times but since it does not make any difference. Pay attention to your volt meter as mine is at 15-17 when the Auto Stop feature inst working. After dealer clears or resets the ECM the volt meter returns to 10-12 and Auto Stop works again. I am hoping that the new ECM once installed will fix the issue.

Condition of the battery and charging system is one of the things auto start/stop monitors to decide if it will cause a stop. 

Camera left drawing juice when truck off may have resulted in battery charge lower than computer thinks is necessary for stop/start to function.

 

Auto Stops may not occur and/or Auto Starts may occur because:
. The climate control settings require the engine to be running to cool or heat the vehicle interior.
. The vehicle battery charge is low.
. The vehicle battery has recently been disconnected.
. Minimum vehicle speed has not been reached since the last Auto Stop.
. The accelerator pedal is pressed.
. The engine or transmission is not at the required operating temperature.
. The outside temperature is not in the required operating range.
. The vehicle is in any gear other than D (Drive).
. Tow/Haul Mode or other driver modes have been selected.
. The vehicle is on a steep hill or grade.
. The driver door has been opened or the driver seat belt has been unbuckled.
. The hood has been opened.
. The Auto Stop has reached the maximum allowed time.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
